LESSON PLAN FORMAT
Teacher’s Name:Lesson #:5Facet: Interpretation Grade Level: Numbers of Days: Topic: Sons of Liberty and the Fourth of July
PART I:
Objectives Student will understand thatthe culture then, although different from today, helped create our great culture today.
Student will know key factual information (Sons of Liberty, Loyal Nine, British, Taxes, press, Boston, New York, Philadelphia.)
Student will be able to make sense of why we celebrate holidays like the Fourth of July.
Product: A Prezi will be created to accurately represent the meaning behind the Fourth of July holiday.
Maine Learning Results (MLR) or Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Alignment
Rationale: Students will use primary and secondary sources documents such as newspapers, legal documents, and books to show the change in dynamic between the colonies and England.
Assessments
Pre-Assessment: (Lesson 1 only)
Formative (Assessment for Learning) Section I – checking for understanding during instruction
Hand Print worksheets will be handed out at the end of each class to provide an opportunity for each students to show what they have learned for that days lesson.
Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher)
Class time will be given for each group to make their Prezi. Students will have a rubric to follow so they know what needs to be included in their Prezi's. I will be walking around during the allotted time to provide feedback to all the groups.
Summative (Assessment of Learning):
This unit is about Pre-Revolutionary America. In this unit, students will understand key figures, events, and cultural aspects of our nations past. We will be using all sorts of fascinating technologies to see the perspectives of both the colonists and the English. Some of these technologies include Comic Life, Glogster, and Podcasts. Understanding key figures and events from our pastime is vital to understanding how we came to be today. Starting with the French and Indian War all the way through the Declaration of Independence, students will piece together the revolutionary ideas of our founding fathers and come to understand the separation from England was an inevitable event.
Integration Technology:
Students will be making Prezi's to accurately portray why we celebrate the Fourth of July.
Content Areas:
English: Proper spelling and punctuation will be included on the rubric.
Art: Pictures and music can be a vital part of the Prezi.
Groupings Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction
My cooperative learning activity will be the Think Pair Share. I can ask a question they can all think about and then get into partners to discuss and later share their answers. My graphic organizer will be the Hand Print worksheet. At the end of each class I will have the students trace either of their hands and in each finger, write something new they learned.
Section II – Groups and Roles for Product
Pending on the size of the class, groups of four or more will be made by myself. A sheet of group roles will be given to each group and the assignment of those roles will be decided by students themselves. Any disagreements amongst group members will be settled by myself. Along with my observation, students will individually score each of their team members performance on the team rubric and hand it in to me. http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/cooperative/roles.html (Group Role suggestions)
Differentiated Instruction
MI Strategies (Verbal):Write a speech that would rouse the colonists to not pay their taxes! Make sure you state why they shouldn't pay taxes (not just say because it saves money).
(Logic):What would have happened to the colonies if the Son's of Liberty were never formed? Would we be an English colony still? Would nothing change at all?
(Visual):Create a Glogster for this task. Look at Ben Franklin's "Join or die" picture. Now, create your own picture, but make sure whatever picture it is that it conveys meaning just like Ben Franklin's.
(Kinesthetic):Re-enact a meeting of the Son's of Liberty. What would they be talking about? Look at past events.
(Interpersonal): Do a Think Pair Share and in group come up with as much as you know about the Sons of Liberty. (Who,What, Where, When, Why)
(Intrapersonal):Pretend you are a spy and have infiltrated the Son's of Liberty and are reporting back to the English about what has been going on in the meetings.
Modifications/Accommodations From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan) I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.
Plan for accommodating absent students:
Students will pickup their missing work from the Missing Work shelf. A website or Wiki page will be developed for students to read notes and instruction to properly learn the information missed. Also, before/after school hour meetings may be made in order to catch up on missed assignments.

Teaching and Learning Sequence (Describe the teaching and learning process using all of the information from part I of the lesson plan) Take all the components and synthesize into a script of what you are doing as the teacher and what the learners are doing throughout the lesson. Need to use all the WHERETO’s. (3-5 pages)
Students will understand that the culture then, although different from today, helped create our great culture today. Understanding why we as a nation take time off to reflect on what happened on certain days are more than just days off from work, school, etc. Students will be able to explain that history includes the study of the past based on the examination of a variety of primary and secondary sources and how history can help make one better understand and make informed decisions about the present and future. I will hook my students by asking them wether the Sons of Liberty were great patriots or master mind terrorists.
Students will know key factual information (Sons of Liberty, Loyal Nine, British, Taxes, press, Boston, New York, Philadelphia.),Making a Timeline will display the knowledge my students know in depth. My cooperative learning activity will be the Think Pair Share because I can ask a question they can all think about and then get into partners to discuss and later share their answers to my question. The Hand Print method will show me how much my students are learning each class.

Content Notes
ClassAgenda
Patriot or Terrorist (10mins)
Explaining who the Sons of Liberty were. (30mins)
Think-Pair-Share (20mins)
Prezi (20mins)
Students will know about the Sons of Liberty and what their impact on the revolution was. By asking whether the Sons of Liberty were a patriotic or terrorist group; I will spark deep thinking about the justification of the Sons of Liberty's actions. I will ask students to stand on one side of the room if they think the Sons of Liberty were patriotic and the rest on the other side if they think of them more in the terrorist mind frame. I will go into who the Sons of Liberty were and what they stood for. After, I will use the Think-Pair-Share activity to ask the students why we celebrate the Fourth of July to gain multiple perspectives on why we may celebrate it.. After, I will introduce them to Prezi. We will watch the introduction video on the website and delve deeper into understanding how to make a Prezi.
